Food Fight Friday - Seeded Prawn Fish Cakes
Whatever happened to December?
The days flashed by just like our Lily's Cottage guests who arrived and departed at the speed of lightning with many families coming to the beaches for the summer holidays!
SO... I'm getting into the #fff ring super early before this Friday runs away with me - it's changeover day for both our BnB units meaning I'll be doing a marathon run today!
Running a BnB is immensely rewarding if you love interacting with people but when all your trained staff go home to be with their families for Christmas, things can become really stressful, especially when you get lost in those mountains of linen, not having a reliable laundry service nearby!
Talk about organised chaos when it's a guest changeover day - a real marathon run with all hands on deck!
To make matters worse, suffering from OCD sees me running up and down to the cottage numerous times to check...and re-check...and check again, even though I have a check list in place, all the boxes are ticked and everything is looking spic and span again!
Then we experienced heavy rains at the beginning of December plus that cursed LOADSHEDDING, and to top it all, the power dips damaged two of our Satelite Television Decoders to boot!
I tell you, we were not charmed at all as it was off to the provider who set up the new decoders and assured us we just had to plug the units in and everything would be sorted, but Murphy's Law came into play, that was not to be!
It took a lengthy telephone call to get everything working again once we got back home!
Following the heavy rains came the intense heat and horrid humidity which went up to 85%!
We were literally melting, but great for the guests who were enjoying the beaches and the pool!
I shared Berry Pavlovas with all of you crazy foodfightfriday people two weeks ago, but today I will share with you a great starter - a step by step pictorial recipe for Prawn Fish Cakes and a glimpse below of the delectable cool Salmon Mousse my sister in law made for our Christmas lunch - promise I'll make that for you one of these days; it's a super easy but really delicious party dish.
INGREDIENTS
- Approx 1kg Hake or any white fish - steamed, deboned and flaked
- Approx 600 grams Peeled Prawns - sauteed in garlic butter, diced
- 2 medium Potatoes - cooked & mashed
- Spring Onions or baby Leeks - finely diced
- Parsley & Fennel - finely diced
- 1/2 cup Self Raising Flour
- 1 Egg plus 2 extra Eggs for coating
- Seed & Rolled Oats mixture for coating
Mix all ingredients and season to taste, form fishcakes, dip in beaten egg & then in seeds
Leave to rest a little before frying in shallow oil
Drain on paper towels and serve with a sweet chilli sauce
These made perfect starters together with the Pink Salmon Mousse on a very hot but fabulous Christmas day spent with close family.
I do hope 2020 has been treating all our Foo Fong Food Fight Friday Fighters and our Crazy Ring Masters @idig, @jlsplatts and @dandays as well as our kind benefactor @appreciator really well so far!
Hoping that here in South Africa we'll start seeing more light and less loadshedding as the year goes on otherwise I'll be banned from this contest very soon with all my moanings and groanings about electricity!

Thank you so very much @steemsouthafrica, much appreciated!
Looks very tasty. Are these fish cakes just cold or also warm with vegetables or something.
They're delicious hot, served with a creamy potato mash or cold with salads, thank you @depot69:)
Ooooh weeeeee! Look at that reward would ya?! Congratulations, @lizelle, we’re honored you continue to make a mess with us—the kitchen wouldn’t be the same without you.
Well deserved reward young lady.
Thanks old man, this was a HUGE surprise! I really appreciate the support from @ocd:):) Can you see me smiling from ear to ear ;)
Love being in your kitchen with some amazing chefs!
I thought I sensed added brightness.
Yummy 😛

Wow @lizelle, you are amazing, running the BnB, doing all the cooking, cleaning, greeting, and as it sounds, sweating.😅
Your food presentations are always so nice on the eyes.
I know I would love those fishcakes. I never thought of using the oats and seeds for the coating. I make crab cakes, but use bread crumbs.
That's what I love about #fff, always getting new ideas, definitely going to try your recipe.
Have a wonderful day, stay cool sista!!
A gal's got to do what she has to do not so;) But I have a wonderful hubby who gets stuck in and is not afraid of helping! Yep dripping wet all of the time, we had two lovely cooler days and then today happened; back to sweating bullets again, been bad!
Oats is great as a coating on its own for fish cakes, also great for binding meatballs
thanks for that great advise, oats are so much healthier I would imagine.
Great to hear from you my friend @lizelle
It looks amazing. I love that swimming pool too.
Another delicious post that left me both drooling and craving a serving or two of your seeded prawn fish cakes! Seafood is a major weakness of mine since childhood, and it's one of the main reasons I could never do a 100% vegan diet.🦞🍤🦀
Hope things have settled down at the BnB and your staff is back to normal. I think you should go take a relaxing dip in that delightful swimming pool!🏊♀️🔆
Good luck in the #fff contest! @lizelle💫
